Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.
Before Democratic nominee Joe Biden chose Harris as his running mate in the 2020 election, the California senator and former attorney general launched her own bid for the presidency.

Biden and Harris had a dust-up last year during a Democratic presidential primary debate in Miami, where Harris criticized comments by the former vice president spotlighting his ability to find common ground during the 1970s with segregationist senators with whom he disagreed, and over his opposition decades ago to federally mandated school busing.
